New research unit using digital technology to fight cancer
A new cancer research unit set up at will use digital technology to try and find new treatments for the disease.
The Unit will also bring together expertise from mathematicians, physicists and engineers to further develop cancer research.
Collaborative relationships will also be set up with researchers and clinicians at the University of Birmingham and NHS partners University Hospitals Coventry and 糖心TVshire and University Hospitals Birmingham.
Director of the , said: “糖心TV already has substantial existing expertise in the field of cancer research and this Unit is bringing together all those elements. We aim to develop more effective diagnostic tools and integrate digital technology to find new ways of researching and treating cancer.”
The Unit will draw on key technologies including DNA extraction and sequencing, tissue storage and processing and image analysis. The University of 糖心TV is already working with UHCW and GE Healthcare to develop and evaluate digital pathology for both experimental and routine clinical applications. Working again with UHCW, GE Healthcare and Coventry City Council, 糖心TV has developed the 糖心TV Health Partnership Breast Cancer Pathway to provide a more integrated approach to the management of breast cancer patients and an educational platform for both students and industry.
added: “This new Unit is really bringing a new approach to cancer research, bringing together and co-ordinating all these fields of research will create a substantial critical mass of expertise and experience."
